Power Supply Requirements
External Power Supply (supplied separately)
Use a listed/certified power supply
Follow local wiring codes for external wiring
1.6.2
Power Supply
The MTP-2283 can use either a 3-pin Hosiden Power Connector or a 4-pin Molex Power Connector.
Page 8 of 42
1.6.3
Voltage : 24 VDC ±5%
No requirement for external 5 VDC power supply, the 5 VDC for logic is supplied from the 24 VDC, by a regulator
internal to the printer.
This printer prints using high peak currents at a low duty cycle. Typically, a switching power supply rated at 24 volts 2
amps is all that is needed as long as the power supply does not have too much over-current protection.

Operator Instructions
2.1
Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack and inspect your MTP-2283 for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Should any damage
have occurred, notify Telpar, Inc., save the shipping carton and packing materials , and file a damage claim with the
carrier. Specify the nature and the extent of the damage. Before installing or operating the printer, check the
following:
Printer mechanism and paper path are clear of all packing materials or other foreign matter.
Paper is installed. DO NOT OPERATE the printer without paper. Refer to Section 2.2 - Paper Loading for
paper loading instructions.
2.2
Paper Loading
Paper is installed into the MTP-2283 printer from the top. Load the roll of paper by inserting the spindle inside the
roll of paper and placing the spindle ends into the mounting slots (the paper feeds from the bottom of the roll with the
coating on the “inside”). Turn on the power switch and feed the straight edge of the paper into the paper guide. The
Page 10 of 42
paper will automatically load and cut the paper. Be sure that the paper is feeding properly with the thermal side
facing up.
Figure 5 - MTP-2283 Paper Roll loading
2.3
Figure 6 - MTP-2283 Paper loading
Paper Jam
In the event of a paper jam condition, do not force paper into the unit, or try to pry the paper out of the unit, this may
damage the thermal print mechanism . Caution should be exercised when working near the cutter mechanism ; the
blades are sharp and may cause serious injury. This printer is designed for easy maintenance.
To release or remove paper from under the print head:
Lightly lift the cutter release latch on the center top of the printer to let the cutter mechanism pivot downward.
Lightly pull forward on the two printhead release latches, located on the right and left of the print mechanism,
to open the printer mechanism clamshell for easy paper removal.
Once the paper jam is cleared, close the print mechanism clamshell, being sure the two spring latches close
properly.
Lift the cutter assembly to its closed position being sure the spring latch closes properly.

Installation
3.1
Self Test Mode (also Burn-in and Hex Dump modes)
The MTP-2283 has a self-test mode that will print and cut a sample document. All electrical and mechanical portions
of the printer are exercised and checked by this action, except for the serial interface or parallel interface
components.
3.1.1
SelfTest
To place the unit into self-test mode : turn power switch off, press and hold the FEED push button switch and place
the POWER switch in the ON position, then release the paper feed switch. See Figure 10 - MTP-2283 Self-Test
Printout for an example of the self test printout. The self-test printout also shows pertinent information pertaining to
operation of the printer.
3.1.2
Factory Burn-In Test
If the paper feed button is held for 4 seconds after power is turned on, the printer will enter the Factory Burn-In Mode.
A hundred shorter sheets (approximately 6") will be printed. If a sheet is removed during the test, the test will stop.
3.1.3
Hex Dump printing mode
If the paper feed button is held for 8-12 seconds after power is turned on, the printer will enter the Hex Dump Mode.
All codes received will be printed in HEX format rather than causing normal execution, this may be useful for
troubleshooting customer applications.
3.1.4
Continuous Factory Burn-In Test
If the paper feed button is held for 12 seconds after power is turned on, the printer will enter the CONTINUOUS
Factory Burn-In Mode that does not stop after 100 sheets are printed.

Move the print position to the
next horizontal tab position. See
ESC D. If a TAB is received and
there are no more tab positions
set on the current line, the TAB
command is ignored. If the TAB
will exceed the right margin, an
auto-print is performed and the
print position is set to the start of
the next line.
Data on the current line is
printed, paper is fed one line
based on the current line
spacing, and the print position is
set to the left margin. If the
current line spacing is set to less
than the current font height then
paper is fed to print the current
font height (see ESC 2, ESC 3
+n, and ESC C +n).
Feed paper to end of page as
defined by the default page
length of 11 inches or as
modified by the US C command.
If TOF mode is enabled (DIP
switch 2 position 1 or ESC c 1

Descriptions of Commands
STATUS commands
All transmission of status in IEEE-1284 mode is disabled at power on. Status transmission must be enabled by the
US S +n command before any STATUS transmission will occur in I-EEE-1284 mode.
In case of an ERROR as defined in the table below, the printer transmits DLE E and the 2 status bytes. The
response to a STATUS REQUEST is to transmit DLE (10 hex) followed by a SOURCE byte that distinguishes what
type of status is being transmitted followed by the two status bytes as defined in the table below.
The SOURCE byte is defined as:
A = Auto Status Back . Is disabled by default but is enabled when the printer receives the DLE A +n1 +n2
command. +n1 and +n2 define a mask using the same byte/bit structure as in the table below. A "1" in a bit position
enables the automatic transmission of DLE A and the 2 status bytes when an enabled condition occurs. The bit
positions marked as errors in the table will always cause the automatic transmission of DLE E and the 2 status bytes
so these positions will usually be "0" in the user defined mask.
B = Buffered status . DLE B and the 2 status bytes are transmitted when the DLE B command is processed out of
the input buffer.
R = Real Time Status . If enabled by US R +n command, DLE R and the 2 status bytes are transmitted immediately
when the DLE R command is received by the printer.
U = not a true STATUS request. When DLE U +n1 +n2 is processed out of the receive buffer, the printer transmits
DLE U +n1 +n2 back to the host. The user can send DLE U +n1 +n2 anywhere within a document if he needs to
know that the printer has processed the document up to that point.

Telpar's Windows Commands.
Due to restrictions of the Windows operating system and to allow the use of device fonts for print speed
enhancement, the Begin Document (US b) and End Document (US e) commands were created for use by the Telpar
Windows driver. These two commands should not be sent to the printer by any other application program since
unexpected results will occur.

4.2.2.5
Bit Image (BI) Graphics Mode Commands
BI
US * +nH +nL +data
1F 2A +nH +nL +data
256*nH +nL defines how many bytes of bit image data will follow. The data is received sequentially with the first byte
representing the first 8 dot positions at the top left side of the bit image with bit 7 being to the left and bit 0 being to
the right as printed.
XMOVE
US x +nH +nL
1F 78 +nH +nL
The horizontal print position is set to (256*nH + nL) * 8 dots from the left margin.
If there is a lot of white space on the current dot line, the XMOVE command can cause the print location pointer to be
moved resulting in less data required to define a dot line of bit image data to be printed. Anytime there is more than 4
bytes of white space (32 dots) the XMOVE command will result in less data being sent to the printer. Another BI
command can follow the XMOVE command until a YMOVE signifies the end of the current dot line.
YMOVE US y +nH +nL
1F 79 +nH +nL
Causes paper to feed 256*nH + nL dot lines. This is also the BI line terminator and print command.
4.2.2.6

Bar Code 128 definitions
Code128 Character set: 103 data chars, three different start characters, and a unique stop character.
CodeA consists of the ASCII characters 00hex thru 5Fhex, FNC1 thru FNC4, Shift, CodeB, and CodeC.
CodeB consists of the ASCII characters 00hex thru 7Fhex, FNC1 thru FNC4, Shift, CodeA, and CodeC.
CodeC consists of 2 digit numeral characters 00dec thru 99dec, FNC1, CodeA, and CodeB.
The 103 different bar code patterns have different meanings depending on whether CodeA, CodeB, or CodeC was
specified when the data was received. The data string must start with {A or {B or {C to specify CodeA, CodeB, or
CodeC. A checksum is calculated and printed by the printer.

Table 8 - Serial (RS-232C) Interface Pin Assignments

Flow Control
The MTP-2283 series employs a 6 K byte data buffer to allow the host computer to rapidly transfer data. Under some
circumstances it may be possible to completely fill the buffer . When the buffer is within 50 bytes of being full, the
MTP-2283 signals the host computer to pause until a line of data is printed, or until the buffer is under the 50-byte
limit. The flow control information is sent to the host using hardware or software protocols as determined by the DIP
Switch setting.
The hardware protocol uses the DTR line of the serial interface. This pin is asserted or negated as necessary to turn
off and on the flow of data. The software protocol uses the XON and XOFF ASCII characters (^Q and ^S) which are
sent back to the host to start and stop the data stream. Some host systems may not support one or both of these
protocols.

Alternate Parallel I/O Connector, IEEE-1284 Type A or B
Connector J4 is a 26-position (2x13) straight pin header with pinout like a DB25S for connection directly to a PC
parallel port. J4 is located directly behind J2, which is an IEEE-1284 type C I/O connector. A custom massterminated cable assembly can connect from J4 to a DB25S (IEEE-1284 type A).
Connector J3 is a 36-position (2x18) straight pin header with pinout like a Centronics connector for connection
directly to a PC printer cable. J4 is located directly behind J2, which is an IEEE-1284 type C I/O connector. A custom
mass-terminated cable assembly can connect from J3 to a Centronics type connector to connect to a PC printer
cable (IEEE-1284 type B).
J2, J3, and J4 are connected in parallel so only one of the three can be used.

Error Detection Function
Certain ERROR modes are reported when they occur by a sequence of blinks of LEDs DS2 and DS3 located on the
controller board. The ERROR BLINK patterns are listed below and are also printed during a self test.
DS2 blinks ON four times indicated in the table below as T1, T2, T3, and T4. Following each sequence of blinks there
is a pause before starting the next sequence. The ON times of DS2 is the time base used for encoding the error
reporting by DS3.
DS3 blinks ON during some of the four times that DS2 blinks ON. The pattern of ON times of DS3 listed in the table
below indicates the ERROR being reported.
